Academic success is important in our school, however along with it, we are passionate in providing opportunities to ensure students have the chance to develop skills in teamwork, independence, resilience and creativity.

This summer, over 70 community minded Year 11 students took part in the National Citizenship project, spending time in a local university, raising significant amounts for charity and completing a range of outdoor activities.

In May, the under 16 boys’ football team reached the Sentinel Shield final at Port Vale football ground. The girls’ badminton team were successful in reaching the national finals held at Milton Keynes National Badminton Centre. After competing against members of the national squad, they were placed seventh, nationally. A team of 32 swimmers from Thomas Alleyne's were victorious in the Moorlands swimming gala. This performance was matched by the athletics team who were overall winners of the Staffordshire athletics tournament.

Two of our students both came 2nd in their age groups in the Welsh National Cycling championships and one came 2nd in the British Mountain Biking Championships.

Year 9 Girls won a bronze medal in the County cross-country championships. In Athletics, we proudly cheered on one of our students as he qualified for the national championships at 100m and 200m, whilst another Alleyne’s student represented Staffordshire at Javelin. At a district level, we had students win the 800m, long jump and the 300m.

In addition to this, over 100 students took the opportunity to complete their expeditions last year. A number of these students have now completed their Bronze, Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh expeditions.

Experiences like this give students the opportunity to understand the world around them a little better and helps them foster confidence, tolerance, and perseverance.
